    The boba was really really good! I would definitely come back for more boba and they have nondairy options. The bahn mis were pretty good. I wish there was maybe a little more flavor or filling but what was there was tasty. The service was excellent and they brought our stuff to us outside since we had our dog with us. Everything was very clean and there were two tables outside, where we and another couple with a dog were sitting. Would recommend! I'd also like to come back and try the croffle too.

    Yum! This cute place now has vermicelli noodle bowls, along with banh mi, fresh rolls, boba tea, coffee drinks, etc. The food is fresh tasting and the service is friendly. This cafe is owned by the enterprising owner of Diva Nail Lounge next door, and her elegant touch shows in this new neighborhood venture.

    Great spot to grab small Vietnamese bites or drinks like boba tea. The staff was super friendly and you can also order on their kiosk. The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking even at less sweet. The lavender matcha had a good touch to it.

    This is a great spot to enjoy delicious Vietnamese cuisine such as boba, noodles, and sandwiches! From the moment you step in, the cozy ambiance and the smell of the freshly brewing tea welcome you warmly. What truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. The staff is kind, attentive, and ready to offer you recommendations based on your preferences. Whether you are local or passing by, you should definitely give Taste & Tell a try!

    The workers are really kind and the cafe is super cute! My friend and I stopped by the get a bite here and we both enjoyed what we got! I liked that they cut the grilled patties into strips to make it easier to eat and the veggies made such a good juxtaposition to the meet. The jasmine milk tea was on the sweeter side but is what I expected without any adjustments. I think it's worth stopping by for a quick bite or if you wanna focus in on some work!

    Super cute and aesthetically pleasing new Viet shop in Phinney Ridge/Green Lake area with Banh Mi, Bubble tea, Vietnamese desserts, and more! The owner and workers are really nice. Definitely a priced than other places that have similar items but I think it's a great option if you're close by. Love to support other Vietnamese women and local businesses. It definitely does not hurt because their banh mi and boba were delicious. I'll have to come back for more.

    We've lived here for years and I cannot believe it took us this long to try Cardoon. What a GEM!!!…read more The interior is cozy, fun, and relaxed. It's definitely one of those places that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile (and we had no power so, we certainly did!). Everything we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were super unique and incredibly smooth. But I NEED to talk about the rose cookie. I have literally been dreaming about it. No exaggeration. It was that good. Perfectly delicate, fragrant, and memorable in a way that makes you immediately want another one. The service was lovely, the atmosphere was great, and the food and drinks were outstanding. Truly such an incredible spot and I'm already looking forward to going back. There was also a special Makeworth espresso shot that tasted like watermelon SO unique, do try it if you're into adventurous espresso!

One thing to note is that, in terms of alternative milk, they only have oat milk, which was a bit of a letdown. I also tried the infamous honey cake, which was impressive with its many layers, but I found it overwhelmingly too sweet. However, it's not an ideal place to "work from home". While there is free WiFi, there lacks adequate seating and tables fit for working. There are two benches with low coffee tables and two rows of bar stools without backs, no "regular" tables. It made it difficult to work, but it would be a cozy spot to have a conversation with friends or read a book. The other downside is that they close at 4PM, which is quite early.

Pardon the half-eaten food pictures, we got so excited to dig in that we completely forgot to take photos beforehand. The ambiance is lovely, and the staff was warm and friendly. They don't take reservations for brunch, so you order first and then find a seat. The staff was very helpful in guiding us to a table that fit our group size. Overall, a wonderful brunch experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

    We found this café while looking for a quick lunch on our way from our apartment to Ballard Locks…read more As it turned out, it was also on my son's recommendation list, so we were happy to give it a try. The charming outdoor seating immediately caught our attention and made for a relaxing lunch spot. We ordered the Café Mezze Plate, Shakshuka, and Mushroom Toast--more food than the two of us would normally order, but since it was our first visit, we wanted to sample a variety of dishes. The Café Mezze Plate came with an assortment of mezze, including hummus, whipped feta, roasted eggplant, green tahini, marinated olives, cucumber and turmeric cauliflower pickles, along with house-made pita and pita chips. It was fun to try so many different flavors, although the portions felt a bit small for the $36 price tag. The Shakshuka was flavorful but a little spicy for my daughter, though I enjoyed it. It came with two perfectly cooked eggs and two pieces of house-made pita. At $18, it was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. We couldn't finish the Mushroom Toast, so we took it home and had it the next day. It actually reheated very well and still tasted delicious. Overall, this café has a lovely atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating, making it a great place to gather with friends. The food was enjoyable, but the prices felt a bit on the high side for what was served. I'd be open to coming back if I were in the area, though it wouldn't be at the top of my recommendation list.

    Came around 1-2pm on a weekend and they still had a full pastry case! I always love seeing that…read morelater in the day since some other cafes are getting empty around that time. They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

    How I heard of this place: Their soft then grand opening was in a space previously called One Cup,…read moreand while driving by one lone afternoon, we found that ownership and name had changed. We were thrilled to discover it's new management's plans and community, service oriented nature - not to mention their excellent breakfast sandwiches and good beverages! Type of cuisine: Cafe fare - espresso beverages, as well as non-caffeinated items for kids and those who prefer not to partake. Breakfast sandwiches, burritos, pastries. Ambiance: Large, expansive and spacious. There is a small patio with outdoor seating available, should you prefer to dine facing Aurora's traffic congestion. But inside, office furniture helps create separte-feeling booth-like seating with small coffee/end tables for your purchases. Large tables, too, conference sized grace the main space for those wishing to work alone on devices, or engage in conversation among friends and family. An open area also exists, accounting for about one-third of the entire room, which allows for gathering while standing, as well as providing ample space for lines to grow and distance to be maintained (covid-safe). What I ordered: On most ever visit, I stick with my favorites: the bacon breakfast sandwich (if you like the bacon crispy, as that it be cooked out of the sandwich and alongside then placed inside), the sweet potato scone, the sausauge breakfast sandwich and the slightly spicy, vegan potato, bean burrito. My beverage of choice is the Melanin Mocha (dark chocolate moch), though I've also ordered the blackberry mocha, and a couple of others. My husband always sticks with The Karen (white chocolate mocha), while our children enjoy a cup of steamed milk with caramel sauce, whipped cream and sprinkles with their food. What I loved: Everything about this place; namely its mission and complete devotion to the youth and community. Empowerment is strong in this space and the food and drinks are a bonus that amplify and support the work being done. Why I loved it: For all of the reasons listed above - and more. Cost: Average
